Expect aromas of ripe papaya and marmalade thanks to Idaho 7, the perfect complement to the well-loved tropical fruit characteristics of Simcoe and Mosaic.

From the pint can, it pours a darker golden amber with a nice head that lasts. Lots of lace. The nose gets a bit of pine. The mouth enjoys a light hop bitterness with a well balanced malt. Yum!

On tap in a flute.
Golden, small white head rings the glass.
Big and bright tropical fruit aromas. A bit of pine and some toasted malts are noticeable.
Tropical fruits, citrus juice and zest, light bitterness with a tad of sweetness. Subtle earthy pine and malt presence.
Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. A nice mouthfeel.
A very tasty IPA. The series has been great for the last few years. Happy to have this option at local brews and for sale at the grocery store in 4 packs of 16oz. cans.

Very little head which surprised me, however that quickly turned to joy with the wonderful tropical fruit smells I got. Great taste and not filling at all. Awesome beer

16 oz can poured into shaker pint.
A: Very little head, mostly a white film. Body is a very light amber, yellow with excellent clarity.
S: Peaches, Apricots, pineapple, a little honey and some light cracker malts.
T: honeydew, cantaloupe, apricots, light bits of clover honey a slight sweet maltiness on the end and just a touch of bitterness.
M: Solid medium feel not cloying, not too light just dire straight dead center feel.
O: Very good beer. A nice fruity juice bomb of an IPA with just light malt backbone. This is easy drinking and should be easy to get which makes it fantastic.
